[The Crushed Flower and Other Stories by Leonid Andreyev]@TWC D-Link bookThe Crushed Flower and Other Stories CHAPTER II 8/12
Yura thought that the officer must have been named so for fun.
That wrong Yura Mikhailovich had visited them several times; he even came once on horseback; but most of the time he came just before little Yura had to go to bed.
And little Yura went to bed, while the unreal Yura Mikhailovich remained with mamma, and that caused him to feel alarmed and sad; he was afraid that mamma might be deceived.
He paid no attention to the real Yura Mikhailovich: and now, walking beside Mitenka, he did not seem to realise his guilt; he adjusted his moustaches and maintained silence.
He kissed mamma's hand, and that seemed repulsive to little Yura; but the stupid Mitenka also kissed mamma's hand, and thereby set everything aright. But soon the guests arrived in such numbers, and there was such a variety of them, as if they had fallen straight from the sky.
